  Why is this good?

  Well, you could have the SIM, and when you wanted to, you could just switch the SIM from phone to phone as you choose.

  You could just buy another phone, and throw it in, job done.

  You could take the SIM out, and sell the phone easy.

  You could buy two SIMs, one business, one personal, and switch them as desired, or buy a phone capable of holding two SIM cards, not necessarily the same carrier.

  You could buy thousands of phones off eBay.

  This is great news for consumers in the US.

  In the EU and the rest of the world, you can buy an anonymous SIM card, prepaid, of course, and use them and throw them away, and get a new one. Then again, there are plans there where you pay less than $0.01 to talk per minute in the day, then free at night, and free SMS after a monthly fee of $0.05 per month.

  You can already do that, by just buying a free phone, slapping the phone onto eBay or donating it to Goodwill, and using the SIM. And I'm still tied into that 2 year contract, which was always advertised as a way of subsidizing the handset - which you're not getting here.
